Thanks for the replies!  It's great to read these posts and remind myself that ED is not normal behavior and shouldn't rule our lives. 

I'm 30 years old, btw, and have been dealing with anorexia since I was 14.  I've been in "remission" for a couple of years now, but getting above 120 was really hard psychologically.  My lowest was 90 lbs and I was visibly sick then.  My therapist wants me to maintain at about 125 lbs, which seems crazy.

For the first time, I can pinch fat on my stomach (okay, I've been doing it obsessively all day at work).  It's normal to have extra "pinch" on your stomach, right?? 

And an interesting perspective - my boyfriend has been sober for 10 years and is wonderfully supportive.  He always tells me that ED is so much harder than alcoholism because we can't just cut food out of our lives.  Food for thought...

Lots of support to all of you out there!!
